At noon the main building was a perfect
jam of citizens and visitors, and It was
almost impossible to pass in some places.
Everything in the building was minutely
inspect' d by the crowds, and the excite
ment of tbe opening days weighted the
air. The buildings were all in flrst-ctass
order, all the exhibits being in place. The
Kansas City and Memphis Railroad’s mon-
*»ter display is one of the ttnest ever seen
in the country. The artistic and tast-ful
arrangement of the exhibit reflects great
credit on the management. Erected, as it
is. just inside the north entrance, it
catches the eye of every visitor. There
are over 300 kinds of grasses exhibited
which were raised along side tbe track of
that railroad.

a lesson for ibe vacillating youths of our

The Fox Chase Yesterday.
About 4 o’clock yesterday morning tbo
t r»0 prize fox chase took place lrom the
Exposition grounds. About twenty-five
dogs entered and the start was splendidly
made by Judge Rack ham. The judges,
mounted,and several other interested gen
tlemen accompanied the chase. Old Rey

overtaken about four miles from the
grounds in Alabama. The capture was

Yesterday Secretary Gordon received a j
letter from Mr. J. B. James, President of .
the Houston County Alliance, stating that
Ins county would be well represented at j

letter sa>s: "All who have attended speak

Atlanta, Macon, Troy, Birmingham,
Greenville, Talbotton, Buena Yist ». Mont
goniery, and all the eities amt towns in
the surrounding section were represented
at the Exposition yesterday by large and
influential delegations.
A tattered Confederate flag is displayed j
in the Exposition art department by Mr.
Louis F. Garrard. The historic relic is
attractive to everybody. It was taketi ,
from tbe battle field by Mr. Garrard after
a teirible combat.
The variety of pigeous at the Exposition i
bench show is wonderful.
The geese, turkey, chicken and rooster
exhibits are very attractive.
Tbe dog show is pronounced to be one
of the best ever seen iu the country. Some
very valuable dogs are on exhibition from
various parts of the country. The Foun
tain City kennel will arrive this morning
from Augusta. Twenty valuable dogs will
be entered. Mr. J. H. 'Bass is in charge of
the kennel.
There is a splendid display of red cap

a day and a half to get here
and the same to get back. Visitors are.
therefore, allowed about a day and a halt
iu the city. The party referred to in
tended to remain at the grext Chattahoo

result will be that full fare will
have to be paid on the return.
The Bicycle Tournament.
One of the leading features ot the Expo

1 o’clock this afternoon. The balloonist
do so, providing he could choose his own
advisers on the General Executive Board.
Everything indicates that he will be given
his wish, and there is now only a differ
ence of opinion regarding the way it shall
be clone. Under any circumstances, Pow-
derly will undoubtedly continue in office
and will choose his own cabinet.
Canada wants to be represented on the
General Executive Board The South has
a like desire, and a movement is on foot
looking to the selection of some repre- j
sentative business man.
It is reported tnat a proposition looking
to the formation ot an entirely new Con |
stitutiou has been made to the General
Assembly, and is being considered by the
proper committee. As there is a strong j
feeling in favor ot a radical revision of the
present Constitution, there is little doubt
that the new Constitution will have many ;
supporters.
The morning session was devoted to |
matters from the Committee on Appeals
and Grievances, and the afternoon session
to the discussion of newspaper attacks j
upon the character and position of the
General Assembly and of Powderly pub- \
lished in the “Kuights of Labor,” a'Chi

name, is not the organ of the order. Det-

by the j dges of the drill to he held in ihis city
during the preseut month, are published for the
information aud guidance of all concerned:
. The order of driliiug. determined by lot by

mander three hours before his organization is to
drill.
3. Each organization must be prepared to drill
at its alio ted time.
4. The assembly, *ounded at the judges' tent,

turn it is to dril , that, in fifteen minutes, it must
be marched upon the drill ground and formed in
single rank at such point as may be designated
by the judges
5. Except when marching to and from the drill
, ground, the commander will take the position
of instructor. In marchiug. quick time will al
ways be used, unless otherwise directed.
6. When marching, the distances passed over
must be sufficiently §reat to enable the judges to
determine the proficiency of each command: the
whtels must be through an angle or ninety de
grees. In every instance the prescribed move
ment must be executed before passing to the
next on the programme.
7. No extra movements will be allowed after
the completion of the regular programme.
S. The drill will be executed in the precise or
der in which tbe commands and evolutions are
indicated in the progrimme. The only excep
tion will be where, from restricted limits, it is
not possible to execute the evolutions as ar
ranged: mthiscise it is permitted each com

fiuish its programme. Vunecessary delays will

slighting of movements, is to be specially guard
ed against.

Naina Gilly's Trial.
Paris. Nov. 19.—After council for Numa
Gilly had stated in the Nimes Court,
Saturday, that Gilly's attack was not made

nounced that only such evidence as di
rectly concerned Andrieux would be ad
mitted. Andrieux dec ared himself
satisfied and withdrew his charge, and the
Coart acquitted Gilly. The action of the
Court in refusing to allow evidence bear

they did not desire, and the Bible having

one of the text books for the Wisconsin
schools. There was nothing, however, to
prevent children from reading the version
of the Bible a cepted by the Catholic
Huey.

ing a large number of Johnson’s
friends went to the jail and took
Arnold, saying that they intended to
avenge the death of their friend and
neighbor. Since their departure nothing
has been heard from them, hut it is pre
sumably certain that Arnold has paid the
debt of his fearful crime. Particulars of
the murder are as foll ows : Captain John
son had had some words with Arnold,
but nothing of a serious nature.
Arnold armed himself with
a large sized derringer pistol, walked up
to Johnson, wbe was under the influence
of liquor, threw him to the ground, at the
same time placing his pistol to Johnson’s
left |temple, and fired, causing instant
death. Arnold then took an unloaded gun
from Johnson and beat his head into a
bloody mass. Arnold’s wife and two
brothers were witnesses to the tragedy
and pleaded for Johnson’s life, but Arnold
threatened to kill them if they opened
their mouths. These facts were given to
a citizens’ meeting near the scene by Ar
nold’s wife and other witnesses. In the
posse to take Arnold there were many
colored people, w’ho said that the killing
of their old master was brutal, and that
his slayer ought to be lynched.
